IBF programs just released ‘Steam for Android’ app on the Android Market.

You can access the entire steam community using the app. Android is the first OS to get the application from Steam.

Nice looking app, not the first of its' kind though. When these Steam apps finally get Steam Chat working that'll be sweet (supposedly Steam hasn't made that API available yet).

So I was poking around the internet and saw the new Lenovo LT 1421 USB portable monitor.

http://www.lenovo.com/products/us/monitor/lt1421/

I found myself intrigued by it and was thinking about getting one as I travel a lot for business and find that not having that second monitor like I have on my desktop at the office is a major point of frustration.

I was looking at it and thinking to myself "man that looks a lot like a tablet." I got to searching the internet for ways to turn an android tablet into a secondary monitor and found Apps like iDisplay and AirDisplay (iPad only) and Screen Slider that work over wifi but those methods all seem to be really slow and laggy. It would be better than what I have for sure but given that I'm often on hotel Wifi and it requires a network connection between devices that leaves me open to some vulnerabilities I would assume.

What I'm curious about is if anyone has done any dev work to make an android tablet function like that Lenovo monitor in the link above? That would be an awesome app that I would gladly pay $10 or $20 for or more.

Anyone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjymous:
iDisplay is available for Android, and works over USB as well as Wifi

http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=idisplay&platform=android

It works pretty well, too - you won't be able to do anything graphically intensive, but basic stuff is fine.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dateno1:
it not work on 64ibt OS :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalheim:
You could just use VNC (i think it only works over Wifi)

Start a VNC Server on your PC and download a VNC Viewer app on your tab

EDIT: I think its also possible to forward the netstream of VNC over USB, but im no expert on this field.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doktor Jones:
I know this thread's a bit old, but it came up on Google for me when I was trying to figure out how to set up my EVO 4G as a secondary display, so I figured I'd share my findings here.

The iDisplay application itself had no problem whatsoever running on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit laptop. The problem lies in the Android drivers.

You need to download the Android SDK and install the Google USB Drivers package within that. Once the SDK is properly installed and your device is plugged in and in debugging mode, you'll need to go into Device Manager and find your "Unknown Device" or "Android Phone" (with the little (!) overlay on its icon) and right-click it to update its drivers. Choose "Browse my computer for driver software", "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer", select "Mobile Devices" from the list, click "Next", and click "Have Disk". Browse to where you installed the Android SDK and within there, browse to extras\google\usb_driver . With any luck, it will give you a couple of warnings, and then "Android Composite ADB Interface" will appear in the list -- select it, confirm the unsigned driver warning, and your phone is now properly installed! (see note at bottom)

Once it's installed, restart iDisplay on the computer so it can "see" the phone properly, then select "USB Connection" from iDisplay on the device. Voila!

NOTE: If Windows complains that the specified location does not contain drivers for the hardware when you browse to the usb_drivers folder, you may have to go to that folder and edit the .inf file. First, check the Properties of your "Unknown Device" in Device Manager, go to the "Details" tab, and select the "Hardware IDs" property -- jot down the line that has just "VID" and "PID" (and "MI", if it's there) in it. Now in the .inf file, under the [Google.NTamd64] header, duplicate one of the lines (I borrowed from the "HTC Magic" line, replacing USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03&MI_01 with the line you wrote down from the device properties. In the case of my EVO 4G, I added the following:

; HTC EVO 4G
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C8D&MI_01

Now when you attempt to install the driver, Windows should be happy (other than the unsigned driver complaints)!

Hope this helps someone out there :D

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bassman198721:
I am thinking of getting the Incipio OffGrid charge case for my infuse because the battery life sucks on this phone (too much phone not enough battery). If anyone has this case for their Infuse please respond and let me know what you think of this. I have the ballistic case on my phone right now so I am not worried about the bulkiness of the phone as long as it fits in my pocket or on my side. This case looks awesome and I could really use the extra battery life.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I am looking at a few ROM's to flash to my phone either tonight or tomorrow. If you are running either Catyrom or DarkyRom please fill me in on the pros and cons so I can make a decision. I DO NOT LIKE MIUI SO PLEASE DON'T SUGGEST IT.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jottosson:
I hope you guys can help me out with this odd problem.

First of all, I'm a crack flasher. I think I've flashed every release of every rom out there :) However, I've noticed some navigation voice issues. Since I don't use navigation very often, I don't know which roms are affected, or how/why.

The issue is that the voice switches from old "Gingerbread behavior" (street names are spoken, very metallic robotic voice) to excellent "ICS behavior", where only essential information are spoken (i.e. "turn left", "in five hundred meters, turn right") in flawless Swedish pronouncement.

Today I was experimenting a little, and every second direction (or so) was in old behavior, and every other in the new. The flawless pronouncement is female, the metallic one is... maleish.

I've removed Maps and reinstalled it, but to no avail.

Settings --> Languages --> Text-to-speech lists "Pico TTS" and "Google text-to-speech-engine", none of which has Swedish as setting. I believe the Swedish voice is in Maps itself (?)

Anyone else experiencing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lms24:
Hi

I'm currently trying to learn how to port roms for the Desire Z/G2 by using some guides around the internet and dsixda's Android kitchen. Currently I'm trying to port CM7 from Desire S to our device (I know there is a version for the G2 but I thought it would be easier to start with this rom than with a sense rom or something like that...). At the moment almost everything works exept the physical keyboard. It seems to be somehow recognized by the OS cause when I pop it out the launcher is forced into landscape mode but I can't write anything and I can't see the keyboard lights.

Does somebody know which files have to be copied from the original CM7 to the ported one?

Thanks in Advance

It seems like every other posted question or comment lately is answered with a smart ass remark or the op is insulted for an honest mistake or posting a question that they didnt realize had already been asked. Yes we know we need to read before posting. Sometimes people just want to ask the question from their point of view. If half of the replies would be helpful answers instead of insulting comments the forums wouldnt get jammed up with "repeat questions". For the most part people seem cool on here and Im just wondering what some others think of this?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
I've noticed, and I agree with you. Unfortunately, it seems as though our forum is slowly starting to turn into most others I've seen. Let's hope it doesn't get worse.

There is absolutely no use in the way some people respond. For some reason, they don't seem to realize that the time they wasted on creating a snarky remark took up more time than just passing the thread by. Usually, someone will be kind enough to provide help or direction. I understand the frustration some times, and think users should be educated on how to go about finding information that already exists. BUT, when it's done with an unnecessary attitude, or worse, attitude is given with no useful help, it accomplishes nothing. It creates an atmosphere that doesn't lend itself to building our community.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SuperEd:
I'm normally really quiet on here unless I have some constructive comment or help those that are in need who really need it.

But, the main problem for all the noob question is the lack of direction for noobs to find the info they really need to seek out. Common problem on any type of forum, but is part of how community forums work. Microsoft's community does a good job in controlling this with great help with constructive help on posts given by the moderators and links from others who shared the same type of problem.

Just my 2 pence worth.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] capathy21:
You just hit the nail on the head!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shammyh:
The reason is that XDA is traditionally a DEVELOPER forum. Not a CONSUMER forum.

Yes, the original purpose of XDA has expanded, however back in the day, this site was mostly focused on technical issues. Rather than asking a simple and probably already answered question, *everyone* searched and searched again to find an answer. And if that didn't work, it was preferably to PM someone a question over starting a whole thread titled: "X thing that I'm trying to do doesn't work. Please help me!!! Sorry I'm a n00b!!!"".

There are no "stupid" question per se (though really, some folks around here push that boundary to its absolute limit), but there are plenty of already answered questions floating around. Even the OP's question/comment has been addressed millions of times before around here. Experienced XDA users get annoyed when people ask those same questions over and over again. And even though everyone says "I searched but couldn't find an answer for X", usually that's not really true. They may have quickly tried a single search term in the Vbulletin search, then probably gave up. They almost certainly haven't read the official XDA rules, and certainly haven't tried creative ways of finding the answer they are looking for.

This IS A DEVELOPER COMMUNITY. If you can't be bothered to try more than a few minutes of searching, then you are lazy, and it's not really worth the time of others to respond. Hence the flaming, and the anger, and the people attacking n00bs for already-answered questions. This is not a "community support forum" for those people who just picked up a new device and what to "r00tz that ****z" so they can play pirated games and tether for free. This is a community for people to work together on technical aspects of our amazing devices, and squeeze every drop of power from the silicon/glass/plastic devices we all love so much. Yes, people are people, not everyone will search properly, and yes, the majority user-base of XDA has changed a lot over the past 3-4 years. That doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want and not follow the clearly posted XDA rules. And it doesn't mean you have the right to post threads of "OMFG I can't believe how mean all these people who donate their time for free to the community are". Get over it. If you want to idly chat and whine about this that and the other, there are plenty of other places on the internet to do that. XDA is not the place.

Originally, there was very little hostility around XDA over stupid or silly threads. This was because they were so rare, and were often honest mistakes. I don't want to read about your whining and complaining about people being mean. You're right, I *could* just skip over the thread and not say anything (which, undoubtedly, many folks are given the responses so far). But you posted it in the Galaxy S2 i777 General Forum. This thread has nothing to do with the i777 GS2. Whine elsewhere, or be flamed. That's the long and short of it.

Good luck and welcome to XDA! :)
